FT-86 to be named FR-S...

Could be just right. BMW understate and toyota has 20 kilometres on it.

Do you honestly think another 1000km will free up 10% more power?

ps 69 miles is more like 110km.

Did you read what the guy said? He said that the Mini's dyno high so they obviously understate power (as German manufacturers often do - they do the same with acceleration figures too).

Or am I missing the chance to look for a conspiracy

Yeah no but it would in the US on one of their magical over reading dynos!

So 135 german kW = 147 japanese kW. Double the mark-up on german Nm vs japanese Nm.

I've also read similar about Golf GTis,Polo GTis, Megane RS etc etc reading high on dynos.

Or is it the Japanese that tend to overstate their (normally aspirated) power figures?

put it this way, the 86 will never be overstated as it is a piss weak little 2.0, anything turbo can easily have a few more kilowatts here or there from the factory
arguing this is stupid anyway, anything from dyno brand, country, temp sensor location or other correction factors can skew it enough to annoy the internet, the mini has more power, as it should.

Fucks me, email Toyota/Subaru & ask them....not sure anyone really gives a shit as it doesn't really have any relevance to anything.

Hmmm, what's this?



Side note if any 86 owning PF'er would like a front brake upgrade (in particular GT owners), I have a complete FHI 4 pot setup ready to go with: Fronts will go from 277mm to 295mm.

Brand new pads, almost new rotors (Subaru OEM) and I set of worn slotted rotors (still has a 1mm left on it).

Also may off load the rear FHI 2 pots, again with brand new pads, brand rotors, custom dogbones etc.

So that is 100000 yen for some DBA slotted rotors and pads? bargain

The other upgrade kit is stupidly expensive as well.. and yet I'm sure they will still sell plenty!

Just ordered pauter forged rods this morning. Had to wake up at 5:30am to get them. Should be here in a week.

Couldnt be stuffed waiting for Carrillo to get their tooling fixed, still another 8 weeks away.

They look exactly like DBA 4000s

my whole front setup with FHI 4 pots came in under $700. The Brembo setup with 326mm rotors good pads braided lines and seal kit will owe me around $1700 max.
